Nice blueberry walnut salad and clam chowder. Pork chop was very tasty and served with awesome brussel sprouts and sweet potato. The highlight was their risotto, topped with tender beef and mushrooms, the risotto had a great texture and cheesy, garlicky flavor. Deserts were the disappointment, the creme brulee was soupy, and the buckeye was served with a nice ice cream and crisp underneath--but the chocolate roll was just OK. Great, no rushing service.

We only stopped in for one drink, but I can already say I'm looking forward to coming back. The atmosphere at Timber Waters Brewery is incredible -- comfortable, welcoming, and exactly the kind of place you want to spend time at. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I love that you can grab food from many of the local spots and bring it in to enjoy while relaxing with a great beer. The Hazy IPA was amazing and definitely hit the spot! If you're in the Lake Gaston area, Timber Waters Brewery is absolutely worth a visit!

I highly recommend the poke nachos, salmon dinner and the buffalo chicken mac and cheese. Great food is paired with unique cocktails, where the smoked old fashion and Barrel & Bean were our favorites. The staff truly care, are obviously happy with their jobs and they are good at it (that's hard to find now days). Please make the effort to stop in and see Joe, the proprietor, who was kind enough to share time with us while we were there. Oh, almost forgot to mention, there's a small but decent walk in humidor with some top named sticks (also hard to find in or around the town). The back lounge are allows for several pool tables, darts and a few tables to sit and enjoy a good smoke. Highly recommend!!!!

We arrived around 11:30 on a Sunday and a crowd was just starting to build. You park and walk around the back of the building (backyard...makes sense) and enter that way. We each got a hot dog, a bottled soda, and we split an order of pretzel nuggets then took a seat outside. The food is brought out to you. It was the beginning of fall and just a perfect day to be outside. It didn't take long before our food arrived. I think we both wished all the food was a touch hotter. My friend would have preferred spicy mustard on her dirty dog as opposed to yellow (in the New York style) and a touch zippier sauerkraut. My speckled pup was LOADED and, while everything tasted really good, the bun didn't stand a chance. A sturdier bun that was slightly toasted would have made this a perfect dog, imo. The pretzel bites were fine. A good enough side order to split. I preferred the mustard and my friend preferred the beer cheese, so we were both happy. The outdoor space is really pretty cool and I bet it's a great spot for live music on nights and weekends. Would recommend.

After visiting One Eyed Jack's, I'm glad to see this spot brought back to life! The outside atmosphere is awesome, and being able to pull your boat right up to the dock and enjoy dinner is exactly what makes Lake Gaston special.

The food, drinks, and overall experience made for a great visit. A big shout out to Michelle -- she was fantastic and made the experience even better with her friendly and welcoming service. Definitely worth a visit if you're at Lake Gaston!

I think this would benefit them as the place feels big but inside space is limited. Service and food were good. Fast paced and yummy. Clean bathrooms but no changing table for kiddos.

Our expectations were high. As we walked down the dock checking out the other boats tied off along the way we could hear laughter and good music. (Be mindful of any loose boards) We were greeted as soon as we walked up and seated at an 8 top right on the deck viewing the lake. The menu had a lot of appealing items to select from. A majority of them being fried seafood fair. The prices were reasonable for the selection as well. The six of us all ordered something different. I had the Firecracker Shrimp (huge!), my wire ordered the crab cakes (disappointing due to more filler than crab at $22 for two), son had the 8oz burger (he loved it), tenders for the little guy, my uncle ordered the alligator bites which they were out of so he picked the catfish nuggets, and my aunt got the chicken nachos. The portions were rather large. Down to stars. I'm on the fence between 3 or 4 for these reasons. We arrived around 2:30pm and probably waited just over an hour for our food. The little ones were restless and cranky. The food was decent with the exception of the crab cakes. Servers were overwhelmed somewhat due to customers sharing stories from what I could gather from nearby tables. People are chatty when the mixed beverages are flowing. However, I love the experience, vibe, and the view. So 4 it is for this trip. You should check them out. I would definitely like to come back. It was really fun and I can only expect that place to get crazier as the summer goes on. Side note: If you order water, there is a $0.95 charge. Also there is a membership discount, but I don't know what that entails.
